I'm not convinced the message was bulked for a reason other than DMARC policy.

Standing outside the black box, I can't necessarily tell what's going
on inside. But this happens a few times a month, each time with a
different subscriber on DMARC-Discuss, and it is always somebody who
implemented a DMARC policy that I would consider unwise. In this case,
the "why was this put in spam" message was the "BE CAREFUL! WE CAN'T
CONFIRM THAT THIS IS REALLY FROM WHO IT CLAIMS TO BE FROM!" one, which
is certainly suggestive to me of some combination of either auth
failure or DMARC policy intersection.

So if the INTENT is for Gmail to not ding those messages for a DMARC
policy-related reason, then perhaps somebody might want to look
closer, because it smells like a bug.

Sure, I could be totally wrong. But I might not be.

Cheers,
Al Iverson
